a love for Club or love for a team , where lies the "Real" love?

I have been asked this alot, indirectly but never really gave it much thought till a couple of days back. With Madrid my loyalties are solely to the team. I like the way they play( or lately the way they can). I do believe once a player stops playing well, its time for him to be packed, stamped and be delivered out. I would not mind famous polished diamond players or the diamonds in the rough as long as they shine bright enough to burn. So that clears one part that as much as i respect the heights a player has taken us, if the lamp is low, its time to change the candle so as to avoid momentary darkness.
The one question that i dont know where exactly i stand though is that of the history. See i am not from Madrid, neither have been there ever, thus common patriotism doesnt really fuel the fire of my love for Real Madrid. Thus when people shall talk of the politics behind Madrid, yes i know the theory, no i dont and cant really grab the workings. I see the team, i like the way they play, i fall in love with the team. It is really broken down in those steps for me. Thus the dictators and their sadistic reigns could bother me less. If they wore the shorts and kicked the ball i believe my opinion would change. Thus when someone while arguing says that Madrid had a horrible dictator and thus real won and hence i should not watch them makes no sense to me. I did not watch the team because i loved the dictator or the country. If it is matter of patriotism i strongly and proudly support the rogue and scandalous Kenya ( you know your country is corrupted when they steal from FIFA 3 times) and the Indian soccer teams. I dont know much about the latter but i am learning alot more, but of Kenya i am proud to say i know a lump and i even own a jersey ( i have doubts of it being authentic, then again neither was our management).
Thus i am wondering what does one classify as a fan. I could care less about real Madrid's club management ( Since a while though i am sure alot of fans would care less too haha) however they do pay for the player buys. In the end yes its showbiz if the camera man is drunk the actors however well they perform will miss being in the spotlight, but in the end does one really come for anything but a good performance. Sometimes the argument that real Madrid is bad because of the history they had in the country is a bit like that of girls dont know much about soccer because well girls never saw it as far back as boys have.


thoughts in my head
---- Hala Madrid :) Real shall always still be the best club to me ;)
---- Being sick, sleep deprived and in pain makes a confused blog entry
---- Exactly how much brandy is one to take to help with the cold anyways
---- Ramos is extremely fine player...he should be allowed to take his jersey off while playing.. oh well as a friend i know said with those white jerseys pray for a rainy day ;)
